that abstracts it away.
* DMA_CTRL_ACK
- - If set, the transfer can be reused after being completed.
- - There is a guarantee the transfer won't be freed until it is acked
- by async_tx_ack().
- - As a consequence, if a device driver wants to skip the dma_map_sg() and
- dma_unmap_sg() in between 2 transfers, because the DMA'd data wasn't used,
- it can resubmit the transfer right after its completion.
+ - If clear, the descriptor cannot be reused by provider until the
+ client acknowledges receipt, i.e. has has a chance to establish any
+ dependency chains
+ - This can be acked by invoking async_tx_ack()
+ - If set, does not mean descriptor can be reused
